¡Nahual! Fanzine de Ciencia-Ficción, Fantasía [...].

Tonini, Andrés, Ed. ¡Nahual! Fanzine de Ciencia-Ficción, Fantasía y lo que caiga. Nos. 1-2, 4. México, D.F.: [“unos de la Facultad de Ciencas de UNAM”], 1995-1997. 3 vols: 35, 35, 39 pp.; b/w illustrations, stapled illustrated wrappers. 

An early, irregularly published zine with writing by graduate? students and some faculty at UNAM. The stated editorial aim was to “pretende ser un trampolín para romper el silencio” and create a space for Mexican creators of science fiction and fantasy. It ran for approximately six issues from 1995-1998/9. The title clearly references Mesoamerican/Toltec spiritual traditions, and functions as a kind of contemporary indigenismo.

One of the primary supporters and contributors was Arturo César Rojas (1955-2024), a pioneer of Mexican science fiction in the 1980s. His novel xxyëröddny, donde el gran sueño se enraiza is considered the first gay science fiction published in Mexico.
